I'm really interested in John's switch because, as far as I know, at Mozilla he was working on JavaScript evangelism and performance, but at Khan Academy he'll actually be building software which I think is a pretty large change.

He actually did a number of pure development projects while working at Mozilla, both Firefox-related (like the FUEL library) and jQuery-related (like creating the jQuery Mobile framework): http://ejohn.org/blog/fueling-the-firefox/ http://ejohn.org/blog/fueling-the-firefox/ http://jquerymobile.com/ http://jquerymobile.com/

John works mostly as the maintainer for the Khan-exercises open source project, basically the Exercise Dashboard piece of Khan Academy. Remember, it's open source[1], so don't hesitate to join in and help revolutionize education. There's some very cool and interesting things we're working on that get used by millions of kids (and adults!) everyday. You know some js, python, HTML/CSS? Interested in documentation, searching for bugs, or doing usability testing? You're cordially invited. [1]: https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises
